Chapter 338 [The day of the big murder, there is chaos in chaos] two
Seeing this, Mu Linfeng felt a stern and thought to himself that something was wrong. Hong'er also noticed something strange at the same time. She immediately pulled out the sword and held it in her hand, looking highly vigilant.
At this time, I could only hear a messy sound in the backyard of the store. Mu Linfeng couldn't think about it carefully. If the enemy rushed into the backyard at this moment, then he would have no way out. He wanted to open the store immediately, but he didn't expect that the door of the store had been locked from the outside.
Hong'er saw it and immediately said to Mu Linfeng: "You follow me and don't stay away from me!"
Mu Linfeng nodded and followed Hong'er. The two of them slowly walked towards the backyard together. There was only one door between the backyard and the front hall of the shop, and there was a curtain blocking it. Although they could still hear the movements in the backyard of the shop, they could not see what was going on.
Hong'er walked to the door curtain and asked Mu Linfeng to hide aside. Then he used his long sword to open the door curtain. The Thousand-Handed Guanyin in Mu Linfeng's hand had already been ready. As soon as the door curtain was opened, he would immediately open the fire if he saw someone rushing towards him.
Not only did Hong'er use his sword to open the curtain, but he did not find anyone rushing towards him, and at the same time, he did not find any hidden weapons flying over.
Hong'er and Mu Linfeng looked at each other, and then Hong'er whispered to Mu Linfeng: "I'll go and see, you can use your 'hidden weapon' to cover me!"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "Be careful!" As he said that, he held the pistol tightly in his hand, and Hong'er slowly opened the curtain.
The moment Hong'er lifted the curtain, Mu Linfeng and Hong'er were both shocked. There were indeed more than ten men in black in the backyard, but they were all lying on the ground, and obviously they turned into corpses at some point.
Hong'er immediately put away the sword and then went up to investigate the corpses one by one. But Mu Linfeng stood there hesitated. What was going on? Are these people not going to deal with them? Or did someone meet another group of enemies when they wanted to deal with them? Obviously, these may be very small. The most likely thing is that these people were originally here to deal with them, and another group of people helped them at this time.
The question is who are these people? Tokugawa Ieke's younger brother, his brother-in-law Tokugawa Ie Takashi? If it is Tokugawa Ie Takashi, then in the mountains and forests, Tokugawa Ie Takashi said that there is another important thing, that is, to come to Huai'an first and find people who are not good for them, so before they act, they should take action first.
If you say this, it makes sense. No matter how you say that Tokugawa Ie Takashi is his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law protects his brother-in-law, it is reasonable to say that, but according to the series of performances of Tokugawa Ie Kei and Takawa Miko in the mountains and forests, this matter does not seem to be that simple.
Mu Linfeng was thinking, but heard Hong'er say, "Come and see, the pipa bones of these people are not as good as the tattoos I saw before..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he immediately stepped forward and lifted the collar of the man in black one by one. He did not find the tattoo he had seen in the mountains and forests before. Mu Linfeng pondered for a moment, what does this mean?
The people who want to deal with themselves now are not a group of people who have met in the mountains and forests before? What else can it mean? But this alone is enough to make Mu Linfeng a headache for a while, so many people want to deal with him.
Li Xin of the rebellion army, the Long brothers of the Qinglong Society, Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and the several Ming surrendered generals who are still unknown to surrender to him. No matter which side wants to deal with him, it will really make Mu Linfeng busy for a while.
However, at present, the most important thing is not to find out who is going to deal with him, but to find out the whereabouts of the firearm given to Tokugawa Ikawa Ikki as soon as possible, and then send the firearm to Japan as soon as possible. First, to fulfill his promise, and second, at least after Tokugawa Ikki got the firearm, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not have the energy to cause trouble for him again. The situation in Japan alone would be enough for him to bear it for a while.
Only after solving the problem of Japan can Mu Linfeng free up his hands to deal with other forces. Among these other forces, only the Long brothers have personal grudges with him, which is also the most troublesome force to Mu Linfeng.
After all, whether it is the trespasser army, the Japanese, the Manchus, the Ming Dynasty, or Zhang Xianzhong, they have too many things to consider. They want to produce themselves, but they only think about their own interests. However, once they have something to do, they will never act rashly and have to consider their own interests as the premise. However, the Long brothers are different. They have no worries, and their whereabouts are still unknown and hidden in the dark. As long as they want to deal with themselves, they are afraid that it is easy to hide from the open gun and difficult to prevent the hidden arrows.

Mu Linfeng then briefly checked the backyard of the shop with Honger, but no discovery was found. The body of the boss and the friend was found in a room. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the boss and the friend. It was just that these men in black followed this way and borrowed this shop.
Mu Linfeng was thinking about when the boss and the guy were in the shop. Before he could think about it, someone slapped the door and shouted: "Open the door immediately, we are from Huai'an Yamen!"
Mu Linfeng felt a little nervous when he heard the voice, and then he thought, the official officer in the yamen received the news so soon? He thought about leaving the shop with Hong'er immediately.
Mu Linfeng and Hong'er then went back to the front door of the store and mixed among the crowd watching the fun. At this time, the door of the store had been smashed open by the officials. A group of officials rushed into the store, then rushed into the backyard, carrying the body of the man in black from time to time.
The onlookers on the street were talking and different opinions. Only then did Mu Linfeng notice that a black shadow flashed away not far from the crowd, and his movements were very fast. Although Mu Linfeng could not see who it was, he vaguely saw that the man's eyes looked very much like someone he knew, but he didn't think of it for a moment.
At this time, a sound of gongs and drums sounded on the street, and someone shouted: "Everyone is getting out of the way, Lord Hong Chengchou is here!"
Mu Linfeng immediately took a few steps back when he heard this. One side was recognized by Hong Chengchou. Before the fact he wanted to know was clear, Mu Linfeng didn't want Hong Chengchou to know that he had come to Huaian.
From time to time, a group of people carried a sedan chair to the store door, stopped, and walked out of the sedan chair, a man wearing an official was Hong Chengchou. He saw him casually looking at the crowd, then stepped into the store, and inquiring about some related matters.
Logically speaking, Hong Chengchou should not be asked by Hong Chengchou in person. Could it be that Hong Chengchou happened to pass by?
Mu Linfeng was hesitating, and Hong'er pulled Mu Linfeng's sleeve and pointed to the other side of the crowd. Mu Linfeng turned his head and saw that the two of them were looking at this side. Both of them were dressed in men, but Mu Linfeng recognized at a glance that they were Tokugawa Ie-ei and Tagawa Miko.
Obviously, Tokugawa Ei and Takawa Miko also saw themselves and were looking at them. They whispered, probably because of Hong'er standing beside them.
Mu Linfeng smiled at Tokugawa Ie-ei and Takawa Miko, then pulled Hong'er and squeezed the crowd toward the two of them.
Seeing Mu Linfeng coming to him, Tokugawa's Ie-Mei immediately disappeared from the crowd with Miko Tagawa and disappeared.
Mu Linfeng looked different, thinking to himself, could he be jealous again when he saw that he was with Hong'er?
Hong'er seemed to think so, and quickly whispered to Mu Linfeng: "Madam seems to be celebrating Hong'er..."
Mu Linfeng until Hong'er was about to say something, and immediately said, "Don't worry about her, let's leave here first..." As he said that, Hong'er left the crowd, and then said to Hong'er: "Hong'er, how are your light skills?"
Hong'er said differently after hearing this: "You still talk about it, you want to..."
Mu Linfeng immediately nodded and said, "Now Hong Chengchou is here, so we are just giving us time. Let's go to Huai'an Yamen to check the firearms!"
Hong'er then realized Mu Linfeng's plan, and immediately followed Mu Linfeng to the back door of the yamen in Huai'an. Hong'er asked Mu Linfeng to wait here, then jumped over to the wall, and then jumped into the backyard of the government office.
Mu Linfeng found a place to sit and wait for Hong'er. Not long after, someone in the backyard shouted: "Who..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he knew that Hong'er must have been discovered. He immediately stood up and was very worried about Hong'er's situation. From time to time, he saw a red shadow flying out of the wall. After landing, he immediately pulled Mu Linfeng and said, "Go away!"
After saying that, Hong'er pulled Mu Linfeng and quickly left the back door of the yamen. From time to time, she heard the back door being opened, and a burst of rapid footsteps were heard. It must have been a servant of the yamen. Mu Linfeng immediately used the dragon step, but Hong'er was pulled away by Mu Linfeng at this moment.
From time to time, Mu Linfeng pulled Hong'er through several alleys, and could no longer hear any sound behind him, and then stopped.
Hong'er immediately said to Mu Linfeng: "After I entered the yamen, I found that someone had already gone to the backyard of the yamen to investigate. The several yamen runners patrolling the backyard had also been killed by them. Just when they were about to go up to check their wounds, they were discovered by officials... so I came out!"
